My doctor seems to think that I could lose 10lbs and suggested I try dieting and exercise. I hate the word “diet”. I can start a diet and have really good intentions of sticking to it, but the diet never seems to last for more than a few days to a week. Something always comes up: that party I have to attend, dinner and moves with friends, or a holiday. As for exercising…well I will start working out (walking or doing a working out tape), but again I always seem to let other things pop up and the work outs just stop. I seriously looked at my body and thought I need to tone…seriously tone up! So starting today I will be eating better (not dieting) cutting calories to start then slowly adding different foods. I’m also going to start working out to maintain a healthy weight and body. I will keep you posted on my progress…thanks for coming along. Smooches!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7601511582604852884-8565465324845365500?l=familylifefirst.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mrs.Boothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07110277699664493604noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7601511582604852884.post-23460657220423376892009-04-14T19:04:00.000-07:002009-04-14T19:18:47.504-07:00In 2009 is it possible to live on 1 income? My son is now 13 and I do want another child, but once I have another child will I be able to stay home? Or is is back to work after 3 months? I ask myself this question every month. How much money does it take to run our house hold? We live in a country where people do live on one income and it works for them, but can this work for everyone? What will I need to give up and go without? Can I live without certain things; such as getting my hair done every 2 weeks and my pedicures - this is my down time and rather I go to work or stay home I need down time. Due I have to courage to take the leap and stop working??? Maybe I need to try living on one income for 6 months and see how that goes and I will have my answer.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7601511582604852884-2346065722042337689?l=familylifefirst.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mrs.Boothhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07110277699664493604noreply@blogger.com2
